Description
I ~ ~9~9(\
I'his inventiorl relates to pharmaceutical compositions of pharmacological~y-active acid-s-table polypeptides, which provide con-tinuous release of the polypeptide over an ex*ended period when the composition is placed in an aqueous, physiological-type enviror~ent.
It has long been appreciated that the continuous release of certain drugs over an extended period following a single adminis-tration could have significant practical advantages in clinical prac-tice, and compositions have already been developed to provide ex-tended release of a numker of clinically useful drugs, after oral dosing (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, published by Mack Publishing Co~pany, Easton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., 15th Edition, 1975, pages 1618-1631), after parenteral administra-tion (ibidem, pages 1631-1643), and after topical administration (see, for example, United Kingdom Patent Number 1,351,409). A suit-able method of parenteral administration is the sub-dermal injection or implantation of a solid body, for example a pellet or a film, con-taining the drug, and a variety of such implantable devices has been described. In particular, it is known that, for many drugs, suit-able implantable devices for providing extended drug release may be obtained by encapsulating the drug in a biodegradable polymer, or by dispersing the drug in a matrix of such a polymer, so that the drug is released as the degradation of the pol~mer matrix proceeds.

81~08 Suitable biodegradable polymers for use in sustained release formulations are well known, and include polyesters, which gradually become degraded by hydrolysis when placed in an aqueous, physiological-type environment. Particular polyesters which have been used are those derived from hydroxycarboxylicacids, and much prior art has ~een directed to polymers derived from ~-hydroxycarboxylic acids, especially lactic acid in both its racemic and optically active forms, and glycolic acid, and copolymers thereof - see, for example, United States Patents Numbers 3,773,919 and 3,887,699; Jackanicz et al., Contraception, 1973, 8, 227-234; Anderson et al., ibidem, 1976, ~1, 375-384; ~ise et al., Life Sciences, 1976, 19, 867-874; Woodland et al., Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1973, 16, 897-901;
Yolles _ al., Bulletin of the Parenteral Drug Association, 1976, 30, 306-312; Wise et al., Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1978, 30, 686-689 and 1979, 31, 201-204.
In this specifica~ion, the term "polylactide"
is used in a generic sense to include polymers of lactic acid alone, copolymers of lactic acid and glycolic acid, mixtures of such polymers, mixtures of such copolymers, and mixtures of such polymers and copolymers, the lactic acid being either in racemic or in optically active form. Also, the term "acid-stable" is to be understood as meaning that the polypeptide is not significantly hydrolysed under the conditions encountered ~ithin the claimed formulations during the period of use envisaged, that is, at pH 2 at mammalian body temperature, say up to 40C., for up to six months.

::
' United Kingdom Patent Specification Number 1,325,209 (equivalent to United States Patent Specification Number 3,773,919~ and United States Patent Specification Number 3,887~669 is the only prior art known to us which makes any reference to extended or sustained release of polypeptides, the latter mentioning insulin only, but it contains no specific example of any such formulation, and the reference to polypeptides is apparently entirel~
speculative, appearina, as it does, oniy in an extensive listing of very many different classes of drugs which can allegedly be incorporated into formulations of the kind described therein. In fact, essentially all of the other drug types referred to in that specification, apart from polypeptides, are relatively hydrophobic in character and of relatively low molecular weight, and the disclosure of that specification displays no recognition of the difficulties which we have encountered when seeking to obtain satisfactory sustained release formulations of polypeptides, many of which are relatively hydrophilic, and of relatively high molecular weight.
It is to be appreciated that "sustained" or "extended" release of a drug may be either continuous or discontinuous. We have now discovered, in fact, that in many cases when the teaching of the prior art, and in particular the teaching of United ~ingdom Specification No. 1,325,209, is applied to the manufacture of a formulation of an acid-s~a~le polypeptide, the release of the polyPeptide from the formulation, although occurring over an extended period of time, may also be discontinuous. For example, the release of a polypeptide from a polylactide polymer as , described in the said Specification is often preceded 0~(' bya significant induction period, during which no polypeptide i5 released, or is biphasic, and comprises an initial period during which some po]ypeptide is released, a second period during which little or no polypeptide is released, and a third period during which most of the remainder of the polypeptide is released.
By contrast, it is an object of the present invention to provide compositions of acid-stable polypeptides from which, apart possibly from a relatively short initial induction period, the polypeptide is released continuously, with no periods during which little or no polypeptide is released. The words "continuous release" are used in this specification solelY to describe a release profile which is essentially monophasic, although it may have a point of in~lection, but certainly has no "plateau" phase.
Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising a polylactide, as hereinbefore defined, and an acid-stable polypeptide, which, when placed in an aqueous physiological-type environment, releases polypeptide into said aqueous physiological-type environment in a continuoufi manner, as hereinbe~ore defined, until essentially all of the polypeptide has been released.
This invention is applicable to acid-stable polypeptides quite generally, without any limitation as to structure or molecular weight, but is most useful for polypeptides which are relatively hydrophilic, and the following list, which is not intended to be exhaustive, is indicative of polypeptides which may be employed employed in the formulation of this invention:-i .
g ~) oxytocin, vasopressin, adrenocorticotrophic hormone(ACTH), epidermal growth factor (EGF), prolactin, luliberin or luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH), insulin, somatostatin, glUcagon~
interferon, gastrin, tetragastrin, pentagastrin, urogastrone, secretin, calcitonin, enkephalins, endorphins, angiotensins, renin, bradykinin, baci-tracins, polymyxins, colistins, tyrocidin, grami-cidines, and synthetic analogues and modifications and pharmacologically-active fragments thereof.
We have found, however, that polypeptides which are not stable under acid conditions, are unsuitable for use in the compositions of this invention, as they become degraded in the acid environment produced in the polymer matrix when the polyactide star-ts to degrade by hydrolysis, thus producing carboxylic acid end groups.
By "an aqueous physiological-type environment"
we mean the body, particularly the musculature or the circulatory system, of a warm-blooded animal, although in laboratory investigations such an environment may be mimicked by aqueous liquids, optionally buffered to a physiological pH, at a temperature of between 35 and 40C.
The continuous release composition of the invention may be placed in the body of an animal which : it is desired to treat with a polypeptide by, for e~ample, intramuscular or subcutaneous in~ection, or by sub-dermal surgical implantation, in conventional clinical or veterinary manner~
' .;
, ~e~ 81/08 We have discovered that a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention may be designed to provide continuous release of the polypeptide by the appropriate choice or control of various parameters, for example by varying the polylactide composition, particularly the proportion of lactic acid to glycolic acid in copolymers; by controlling the molecular weight of the polylactide, both the weight.-average molecular weight, and the molecular weight range Or polydispersityr measured by the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight, (M w)~ to the number-average molecular weight (Mn),ieM~ ; by choice Mn of the proportion of polypeptide to polylactide; or by choice of the geometry of a solid formulation for lS implantation, or of the particle size in a formulation forinjection. The release characteristics of such compositions are also controlled to some extent by the nature of the polypeptide itself. In partlcular, there is less freedom of choice in defining the parameters mentioned above when designing a composition of the invention for a polypeptide of high molecular weight, (say, greater than 6000), than there is when designing a composition for a polypeptide of lower molecular weight, (say, less than 6000).
We have further discovered that the release of a polypeptide from a composition comprising a polylactide and a polypeptide proceeds by two distinct : and independent mechanisms, namely firsta diffusion-dependent release of polypeptide out of the polylactide-: 30 polypeptide matrix comprising leaching from the surface, and, for low molecular weight polypeptides, some ;'``~ .
: :, .
, ~ I6gO`9t) partition-dependent diffusion of polypeptide per se; and sub-sequently, as the polylactide becomes degraded, diffusion of aqueous ~olypeptide solution out of the composition through aqueous channels.
In general, the compatibility of polypeptides in poly-lactide polymers is limited, except in the case of low molecular weight (up to, say, 6000 molecular weigh-t) polypeptides which are capable of having some specific interaction with the polylactide, for example a low molecular weight polypeptide which is basic, and which therefore interacts with the terminal carboxylic acid groups in the polylactide. Because of this limited compatibility of poly-peptide in polylactide, a polypeptide/polylactide formulation, when placed in an aqueous environment, releases very little polypeptide by diffusion through the polymer matrix. While this is broadly true for all combinations of polypeptide and polylactide, matrix diffu-sion is at a minimlm for high molecular weight polypeptides in high molecular weight polylactides. Even when some ma-trix diffusion re-sulting in polypeptide release occurs initially on placing the com-position in an aqueous environment, by release from or very near the surface, this soon ceases because the diffusion of polypeptide into polylactide is insufficient to result in continuous transport of polypeptide from inside the co~position to its surface.
When a polypeptide/polylactide ccmposition is placed in an aqueous environment, water diffuses into the matrix, and is parti-tioned between polypeptide and polylactide to form domains of aqueous polypeptide solution. This aqueous polypeptide, obtained when ab~
sorbed water is p ætitioned between polypeptide and -, .
.
~1/08 ~ - 8 -polylactide, is incompatible with, and insoluble in, polylactides, particularly those of high molecular weight, so that absorption of water by the composition still further reduces initially any likelihood of matrix diffusion of polypeptide out of the composition.
If the aqueous domains of polypeptide so formed are discrete and isolated, then the compositions are incapable of releasing polypeptide. However, the possibility of the aqueous polypeptide domains having some continuity increases with increasing concentration of polypeptide in the composition, and with increasing absorption of water, and when the continuity of aqueous polypeptide domains reaches a sufficient level to communicate with the exterior surface of the composition, polypeptide starts to be released from the formulation by diffusion, not through the polylactide matrix, but through aqueous polypeptide channels. Even when some aqueous polypeptide domains near the surface have extended so as to reach the exterior of the composition, that aqueous polypeptide which exists in stilI isolated domains is not released, and is only released when a secondary hydrophilic path for diffusion becomes available~ For high molecular weight polylactides, this secondary hydrophilic diffusion path arises when the polylactide has undergone sufficient degradation for the rate of absorption of water to increase significantly. When this occurs, aqueous pores or channels are generated in the polylactide matrix, which a].low a continuous and si~icant release of polypeptide, as aqueous solution, from previously discrete and isolated domains.
. ~ .
.
As indicated above, we have discovered that, when sustained release compositions of the prior art, and particularly those described in United Kingdom Patent Specification Number 1,325,209, are used for the release of polypeptides, the initial matrix diffusion phase of polypeptide release, and the se~ondary release of polypeptide consequent upon degradation of the polylactide, are separated in time with the result that the release of polypeptide is not continuous, but is ~iphasic and discontinuous, comprising a small first release of polypeptide, a dead phase during which essentially no polypeptide is released, and a subsequent second release phase, during which substantially all of the remaining polypeptide is released. We have now discovered that, by appropriate choice of the parameters of the composition, the matrix difusion phase of release, and the subsequent degradation induced phase of release, can be made to overlap ln time.
Thus, according to a further feature of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition : comprising a polylactide, as hereinbefore defined, and an acid-stable polypeptide, and exhibiting two successive phases of release of polypeptide when placed in an aqueous physiological-type environment, the first phase being release by matrix diffusion and the second phase being release consequent upon degradation of the poly-: actide, characterised in that the diffusion phase and the degradation induced phase overlap in time.
The two phases can be made to overlap by either extending the initial diffusion phase~ or making the degradation-induced phase commence earlier, or both.
.
.~' . ~ .
81/0~
The initial matrix release phase is difficult to extend, but is sensitive to the concentration of the polypeptide in the matrix, and to a limited extent, to the nature of the polypeptide, especially its hydrophilici-ty, The degradation-induced release phase can be made to start sooner by appropriate choice of polylactide composition (more glycolide-rich polymer molecules, which degrade more quickly than lactide-rich molecules), M~ (molecules of low molecular weight degrade more quickly to a level at which aqueous channels appear in the matrix), and polypeptide concentration (a higher polypeptide concentration allo~s more rapid absorption of water, and consequently more rapid generation of continuous aqueous channels which facilitate poly-peptide release).
However, as well as requiring the degradation-induced release phase to start earlier, it is also necessary to control the rate of polypeptide release during this phase, and to ensure that the total duration of this phase is sufficient for i~ intended clinical or veterinary purpose. One method of extending the duration of the degradation-induced release phase, is to use polylactides which contain : 25 lactide-rich molecules, which degrade more slowly : than glycolide rich molecules, or alternatively, polylactides containing molecules of high molecular weight, which take longer t~ degrade to a level at which aqueous channels are formed, can be used.
?
It is apparent, therefore, that since glycolide-rich polymer molecules, and/or molecules of low molecular weight, are preferred if the degradation phase is to start quickly, and lactide-rich molecules, and/or molecules of high molecularweight are preferred if the degradation-induced release phase is to last for a su~ficient period of time, preferred polylactides are those with a high degree of heterogeneity, in respect of glycolide rich and lactide-rich molecules, or o~ high ~oly-dispersity.
Alternatively, the same characteristics can be obtained by blending two or more different polylactides, which differ in lactide/glycolide content, and/or in M~ . In addition, the blending ofa minor proportion of polylactide of high M~ with a polylactide of low M~ , confers desirable physical properties upon compositions according to this invention produced therefrom, making them easier to fabricate and process.
We have ~urther discovered that the profile of polypeptide release from both prior art polylactides and novel polylactides is almost exactly parallelled by the profile of water absorption. That is to say, when polypeptide release is discontinuous, water absorption is also discontinuous in essentially the same manner, and conversely, when polypeptide release is continuous, so is water absorption. Furthermore, variation of the parameters referred to above for controlling the polypeptide release characteristics of the composition have been ~ound to affect water ab-sorption by the c~sition in an exactly parallel manner.
, '.
Thus, according to a further feature of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a polylactide as hereinbefore defined and an acid-stable polypeptide, which when placed in an aqueous physiological-type environment absorbs water in a continuous manner~ as hereinbefore defined, until the polylactide has been degraded and essentially all o the polypeptide has been released into said aqueous physiological-type environment.
The effect of the various parameters, referred to above, on the poly~eptide release and/or water absorption characteristics of compositions of the invention is illustrated by the following experiments-A. Molecular weight_of_the polylactide component.
A.1. Low molecular weight polypeptide.
A.l.l.Formulations were manufactured comprising 20% w/w of the gastric peptide fragment tetragastrin hydrochloride, Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2.HCl, molecular weight = 633, in a polylactide comprising equimolar pronortions of D,L-lactide and glycolide units, in the form of a film 0.2~m. thick. The films ; were placed indivldually in water at 37C., which was changed daily, and the ultra-violet absorption at 277nm. was measured to assay the tetragastrin released by the formulation that day.
With a prior art type of polylactide of M~ ap~rox1mately 240,000 (intrinsic viscosity = 1.36), there was an initial release of tetragastrin, then a "dead ; period" rom about day 5 to day 21 during g~
which little was released, followed by the main release from day 24 onward.
With a novel polylactide of M~ approximate-ly 15,000 (intrinsic viscosity - 0.25), the release pattern was similar, but the dead period lasted only from day 4 or 5 to day 8 or 9.
With a novel polylactide of low M~
(inherent viscosity of a lg./lOOml. solution in chloroform = 0.11), there was no dead period, and tetragastrin was released continuously from time zero (To).
A.1.2. Similar formulations were manufactured using 10% by weight of the synthetic luliberin analogue ICI.118,630, rG~ -His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D--Ser(O-tBu)-Leu-Arg-Pro-Azgly-NH2, molecular weight = 1269, in place of tetragastrin.
With a prior art polylactide of M ~
~ 240,000 (intrinsic viscosity = 1.36), the release of the polypeptide was biphasic, with a dead period of about 15 days.
With a novel polylactide of Mw ~ 15,000 (intrinsic viscosity = 0.25), there was a short induction period, followed ~y continuous release.
With a novel polylactide of low M
(inherent viscosity of a lg./lOOml.
solution in chloroform = 0.11~, there was continuous release from T .
o A.2. Medium molecular weight polypeptide, Formulations were manufactured comprising ~ 0.1~ by weight of mouse epidermal growth ; factor (EGF), molecular weight = 6041~ in . , .
i~ - ~ ' . ' ` ; I
~, ' - . .
, ,, polylactides comprising equim~lar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and g]ycolic acid units, and of different M~, and placed in pH 7.4 buffer. Release of EGF was monitored by radio-immunoassay.
With a prior art polylactide of M ~200,000 (intrinsic viscosity = 1.08), there was no initial release, and no signifieant release of polypeptide until between 13 and 20 days after To, after whieh release was continuous.
With a novel polylactide of M~80,000 (intrinsie viscosity = 0.58), there was also no initial release, and signifieant release did not occur until between 6 and 10 days after To, after which release was continuous.
With a novel polylactide of low M~ (inherent vis-eosity of a lg./lOOml. solution in chloroform = 0.11), there was continuous release from To.
A.3. High molecular weight polypeptide.
A formulation was n~nufactured eomprising 20~ w/w of bovine prolaetin, moleeular weight ~ 22,000, in a novel polylactide eomprising equimolar proportions of D,L-lactie aeid and glyeolie aeid units, and of low M (inherent vis-eosity of a lg.~lOOml. solution in ehloroform = 0.11). As expeeted frcm previous experiments A.l.l, A.1.2 and A.2, this formulation also released polypeptide continuously from To when tested m vivo in rats, and eirculating bovine pro-laetin assayed by radio-immuno assay.
, ,.
, ~ ' , ~ ~9~
Experiments A.1 to A.3 thus demonstrate that reducing the molecular weight, M~, or viscosi.y of the polylactide used in the manufacture of a composition reduces the biphasicity of poly-peptide release, for polypeptides of low or medium molecular weight, or the initial delay in release of polypeptides of medium or high molecular weight, and achieves a continuous release of the polypeptide from To.
10 B- Ratio of lactide/qlycolide in the PolYlactide.
~ Compositions were manufactured in the form of im,plants containing lOO~g. (3~ w/w) of the luliberin analogue ICI. 118,630 in polylactides of M~v300,000 but of different lactide/
glycolide ratios, All of these formulations when tested 1n vivo in adult female rats exhibiting normal oestrous behaviour, gave biphasic release of the polypeptide, comprising release for about 6 days post-treatment, followed by a dead period, during which there was no significant polypeptide release. The length of this dead period decreased with decreasing lactide/
glycolide ratio ~L/G), as follows:-. .. _ ... _ . ~
; L/G Dead period(days~
.-._ , ._._ 100/0 no release _ . _~
This experiment thus indicates that a composition exhibiting a biphasic release of polypeptide can be improved in the direction of achieving continuous release by increasing the proportion of glycolide to lactide in the polylactide used, up to about 50~ glycolide.
Compositionsin the form of implants were manufactured using different concentrations of the synthetic luliberin analogue, ICI.118,630, in a prior art 50/50 lactide/glycolide polylactide of M~,~J 200,000, and testedln vivo in rats as described above. At 5% and 10% w/w incorporation, the release of polypeptide was biphasic, but at 15% and 20% incorporation, the biphasicity disappeared.
This experiment thus demonstrates that a polylactide of high molecular weight, which gives biphasic release of polypeptide when the polypeptide is incorporated only at low levels, can be used to make satisfactory continuous release formulations if the proportion of polypeptide is increased sufficiently.
25 D. Molecular wei~ht distribution.
A solution of a polymer blend of wide molecular weight distribution (polydispersity) was obtained by mixing solutions of a 50/50 D,L-lactide/glycolide polylactide of low M ~ , (reduced specific viscosity of a lg./lOOml.
solution in chloroform = 0.115), (3 parts by weight) and a 50/50 D,L-lactide/glycolide polylactide of M~ = 200,000, (intrinsic viscosity = 1.08), (1 part by weight). Tetragastrin ! ~$9a~
(1 part by weight) was added, and the mixture was cast to give a polylactide/tetragastrin composition containiny 20% by weight of tetragastrin, and this was then ulded to give a slab 0.02~n. thick.
The slab was placed in water at 37C. and the release of tetragastrin was found to be continuous from To, and to continue for at least 44 days.
Polylactides of wide molecular weight distribution may be ob-tained either by mL~ing preformed polymers of dlfferent ~olecula~-weights, or by appropriate control of the polymerisation process in generally kncwn manner, and such polylactides confer important advantages, for example the lower molec1lar weight polylactide species allow an essentially immediate release of some polypeptide, while the higher molecular weight polylactide species both extend the release period and slow dcwn the overall rate of release of the polypeptide. In addition, the blending of low and high M~ fractions mcdifies the water absorption characteristics of the polylactide in a parallel manner.
E. Thickness of the implant.
E.l. A solution of 10% by weight of tetragastrin in a polylactide co~!prising equ~nolar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and glycolic acid units, and of M ~15000 was cast into films 0.02, 0.06 and 0.12 cm. thick. All three films showed continuous re-lease of tetragastrin from To, and at 28 days, the three films had released respectively 85, 75 and 66% of their tetragastrin content.
' , , ~ 1 6 ~
. The uptake of tritiated water from pH 7.4 buffer by slabs of polylactide comprisiny equimolar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and glycolic acid units of M~ 200,000, and intrinsic viscosity = 1.08 and of thickness 0.02, 0.06, 0.12 and 0.20 was measured by removing such slabs from the buffer solution successively after varying times of immersion, and measuring the tritium content by scintillation counting. After 5 weeks, the different thickness slabs had ai~sorbed respectively 44, 20, 15 and 11% by weight of water.
These experiments show how the thickness of the implant can be used to control the absorption of water by, and thus the rate of release of polypeptide from, a composition of the i~vention, thicker implants releasing the polypeptide more slowly than thinner ones.
As indicated above the composition of the invention may be formulated as a solid composition for sub-dermal injection or implantation or as a liquid formulation for intramuscular or .subcutaneous iniection.
Suitable solid compositions for sub-dermal 25 injection or implantation are, for example, rods, spheres, films or pellets, and cylindrical rods which can be injected through a hypodermic needle or trochar are preferred. Such compos~itions are l,~an~ t~red by conventional techniques which are well ~nown in the '0 ph~rmaceutical art.

I'his inventiorl relates to pharmaceutical compositions of pharmacological~y-active acid-s-table polypeptides, which provide con-tinuous release of the polypeptide over an ex*ended period when the composition is placed in an aqueous, physiological-type enviror~ent.
It has long been appreciated that the continuous release of certain drugs over an extended period following a single adminis-tration could have significant practical advantages in clinical prac-tice, and compositions have already been developed to provide ex-tended release of a numker of clinically useful drugs, after oral dosing (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, published by Mack Publishing Co~pany, Easton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., 15th Edition, 1975, pages 1618-1631), after parenteral administra-tion (ibidem, pages 1631-1643), and after topical administration (see, for example, United Kingdom Patent Number 1,351,409). A suit-able method of parenteral administration is the sub-dermal injection or implantation of a solid body, for example a pellet or a film, con-taining the drug, and a variety of such implantable devices has been described. In particular, it is known that, for many drugs, suit-able implantable devices for providing extended drug release may be obtained by encapsulating the drug in a biodegradable polymer, or by dispersing the drug in a matrix of such a polymer, so that the drug is released as the degradation of the pol~mer matrix proceeds.

81~08 Suitable biodegradable polymers for use in sustained release formulations are well known, and include polyesters, which gradually become degraded by hydrolysis when placed in an aqueous, physiological-type environment. Particular polyesters which have been used are those derived from hydroxycarboxylicacids, and much prior art has ~een directed to polymers derived from ~-hydroxycarboxylic acids, especially lactic acid in both its racemic and optically active forms, and glycolic acid, and copolymers thereof - see, for example, United States Patents Numbers 3,773,919 and 3,887,699; Jackanicz et al., Contraception, 1973, 8, 227-234; Anderson et al., ibidem, 1976, ~1, 375-384; ~ise et al., Life Sciences, 1976, 19, 867-874; Woodland et al., Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1973, 16, 897-901;
Yolles _ al., Bulletin of the Parenteral Drug Association, 1976, 30, 306-312; Wise et al., Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1978, 30, 686-689 and 1979, 31, 201-204.
In this specifica~ion, the term "polylactide"
is used in a generic sense to include polymers of lactic acid alone, copolymers of lactic acid and glycolic acid, mixtures of such polymers, mixtures of such copolymers, and mixtures of such polymers and copolymers, the lactic acid being either in racemic or in optically active form. Also, the term "acid-stable" is to be understood as meaning that the polypeptide is not significantly hydrolysed under the conditions encountered ~ithin the claimed formulations during the period of use envisaged, that is, at pH 2 at mammalian body temperature, say up to 40C., for up to six months.

::
' United Kingdom Patent Specification Number 1,325,209 (equivalent to United States Patent Specification Number 3,773,919~ and United States Patent Specification Number 3,887~669 is the only prior art known to us which makes any reference to extended or sustained release of polypeptides, the latter mentioning insulin only, but it contains no specific example of any such formulation, and the reference to polypeptides is apparently entirel~
speculative, appearina, as it does, oniy in an extensive listing of very many different classes of drugs which can allegedly be incorporated into formulations of the kind described therein. In fact, essentially all of the other drug types referred to in that specification, apart from polypeptides, are relatively hydrophobic in character and of relatively low molecular weight, and the disclosure of that specification displays no recognition of the difficulties which we have encountered when seeking to obtain satisfactory sustained release formulations of polypeptides, many of which are relatively hydrophilic, and of relatively high molecular weight.
It is to be appreciated that "sustained" or "extended" release of a drug may be either continuous or discontinuous. We have now discovered, in fact, that in many cases when the teaching of the prior art, and in particular the teaching of United ~ingdom Specification No. 1,325,209, is applied to the manufacture of a formulation of an acid-s~a~le polypeptide, the release of the polyPeptide from the formulation, although occurring over an extended period of time, may also be discontinuous. For example, the release of a polypeptide from a polylactide polymer as , described in the said Specification is often preceded 0~(' bya significant induction period, during which no polypeptide i5 released, or is biphasic, and comprises an initial period during which some po]ypeptide is released, a second period during which little or no polypeptide is released, and a third period during which most of the remainder of the polypeptide is released.
By contrast, it is an object of the present invention to provide compositions of acid-stable polypeptides from which, apart possibly from a relatively short initial induction period, the polypeptide is released continuously, with no periods during which little or no polypeptide is released. The words "continuous release" are used in this specification solelY to describe a release profile which is essentially monophasic, although it may have a point of in~lection, but certainly has no "plateau" phase.
Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising a polylactide, as hereinbefore defined, and an acid-stable polypeptide, which, when placed in an aqueous physiological-type environment, releases polypeptide into said aqueous physiological-type environment in a continuoufi manner, as hereinbe~ore defined, until essentially all of the polypeptide has been released.
This invention is applicable to acid-stable polypeptides quite generally, without any limitation as to structure or molecular weight, but is most useful for polypeptides which are relatively hydrophilic, and the following list, which is not intended to be exhaustive, is indicative of polypeptides which may be employed employed in the formulation of this invention:-i .
g ~) oxytocin, vasopressin, adrenocorticotrophic hormone(ACTH), epidermal growth factor (EGF), prolactin, luliberin or luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH), insulin, somatostatin, glUcagon~
interferon, gastrin, tetragastrin, pentagastrin, urogastrone, secretin, calcitonin, enkephalins, endorphins, angiotensins, renin, bradykinin, baci-tracins, polymyxins, colistins, tyrocidin, grami-cidines, and synthetic analogues and modifications and pharmacologically-active fragments thereof.
We have found, however, that polypeptides which are not stable under acid conditions, are unsuitable for use in the compositions of this invention, as they become degraded in the acid environment produced in the polymer matrix when the polyactide star-ts to degrade by hydrolysis, thus producing carboxylic acid end groups.
By "an aqueous physiological-type environment"
we mean the body, particularly the musculature or the circulatory system, of a warm-blooded animal, although in laboratory investigations such an environment may be mimicked by aqueous liquids, optionally buffered to a physiological pH, at a temperature of between 35 and 40C.
The continuous release composition of the invention may be placed in the body of an animal which : it is desired to treat with a polypeptide by, for e~ample, intramuscular or subcutaneous in~ection, or by sub-dermal surgical implantation, in conventional clinical or veterinary manner~
' .;
, ~e~ 81/08 We have discovered that a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention may be designed to provide continuous release of the polypeptide by the appropriate choice or control of various parameters, for example by varying the polylactide composition, particularly the proportion of lactic acid to glycolic acid in copolymers; by controlling the molecular weight of the polylactide, both the weight.-average molecular weight, and the molecular weight range Or polydispersityr measured by the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight, (M w)~ to the number-average molecular weight (Mn),ieM~ ; by choice Mn of the proportion of polypeptide to polylactide; or by choice of the geometry of a solid formulation for lS implantation, or of the particle size in a formulation forinjection. The release characteristics of such compositions are also controlled to some extent by the nature of the polypeptide itself. In partlcular, there is less freedom of choice in defining the parameters mentioned above when designing a composition of the invention for a polypeptide of high molecular weight, (say, greater than 6000), than there is when designing a composition for a polypeptide of lower molecular weight, (say, less than 6000).
We have further discovered that the release of a polypeptide from a composition comprising a polylactide and a polypeptide proceeds by two distinct : and independent mechanisms, namely firsta diffusion-dependent release of polypeptide out of the polylactide-: 30 polypeptide matrix comprising leaching from the surface, and, for low molecular weight polypeptides, some ;'``~ .
: :, .
, ~ I6gO`9t) partition-dependent diffusion of polypeptide per se; and sub-sequently, as the polylactide becomes degraded, diffusion of aqueous ~olypeptide solution out of the composition through aqueous channels.
In general, the compatibility of polypeptides in poly-lactide polymers is limited, except in the case of low molecular weight (up to, say, 6000 molecular weigh-t) polypeptides which are capable of having some specific interaction with the polylactide, for example a low molecular weight polypeptide which is basic, and which therefore interacts with the terminal carboxylic acid groups in the polylactide. Because of this limited compatibility of poly-peptide in polylactide, a polypeptide/polylactide formulation, when placed in an aqueous environment, releases very little polypeptide by diffusion through the polymer matrix. While this is broadly true for all combinations of polypeptide and polylactide, matrix diffu-sion is at a minimlm for high molecular weight polypeptides in high molecular weight polylactides. Even when some ma-trix diffusion re-sulting in polypeptide release occurs initially on placing the com-position in an aqueous environment, by release from or very near the surface, this soon ceases because the diffusion of polypeptide into polylactide is insufficient to result in continuous transport of polypeptide from inside the co~position to its surface.
When a polypeptide/polylactide ccmposition is placed in an aqueous environment, water diffuses into the matrix, and is parti-tioned between polypeptide and polylactide to form domains of aqueous polypeptide solution. This aqueous polypeptide, obtained when ab~
sorbed water is p ætitioned between polypeptide and -, .
.
~1/08 ~ - 8 -polylactide, is incompatible with, and insoluble in, polylactides, particularly those of high molecular weight, so that absorption of water by the composition still further reduces initially any likelihood of matrix diffusion of polypeptide out of the composition.
If the aqueous domains of polypeptide so formed are discrete and isolated, then the compositions are incapable of releasing polypeptide. However, the possibility of the aqueous polypeptide domains having some continuity increases with increasing concentration of polypeptide in the composition, and with increasing absorption of water, and when the continuity of aqueous polypeptide domains reaches a sufficient level to communicate with the exterior surface of the composition, polypeptide starts to be released from the formulation by diffusion, not through the polylactide matrix, but through aqueous polypeptide channels. Even when some aqueous polypeptide domains near the surface have extended so as to reach the exterior of the composition, that aqueous polypeptide which exists in stilI isolated domains is not released, and is only released when a secondary hydrophilic path for diffusion becomes available~ For high molecular weight polylactides, this secondary hydrophilic diffusion path arises when the polylactide has undergone sufficient degradation for the rate of absorption of water to increase significantly. When this occurs, aqueous pores or channels are generated in the polylactide matrix, which a].low a continuous and si~icant release of polypeptide, as aqueous solution, from previously discrete and isolated domains.
. ~ .
.
As indicated above, we have discovered that, when sustained release compositions of the prior art, and particularly those described in United Kingdom Patent Specification Number 1,325,209, are used for the release of polypeptides, the initial matrix diffusion phase of polypeptide release, and the se~ondary release of polypeptide consequent upon degradation of the polylactide, are separated in time with the result that the release of polypeptide is not continuous, but is ~iphasic and discontinuous, comprising a small first release of polypeptide, a dead phase during which essentially no polypeptide is released, and a subsequent second release phase, during which substantially all of the remaining polypeptide is released. We have now discovered that, by appropriate choice of the parameters of the composition, the matrix difusion phase of release, and the subsequent degradation induced phase of release, can be made to overlap ln time.
Thus, according to a further feature of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition : comprising a polylactide, as hereinbefore defined, and an acid-stable polypeptide, and exhibiting two successive phases of release of polypeptide when placed in an aqueous physiological-type environment, the first phase being release by matrix diffusion and the second phase being release consequent upon degradation of the poly-: actide, characterised in that the diffusion phase and the degradation induced phase overlap in time.
The two phases can be made to overlap by either extending the initial diffusion phase~ or making the degradation-induced phase commence earlier, or both.
.
.~' . ~ .
81/0~
The initial matrix release phase is difficult to extend, but is sensitive to the concentration of the polypeptide in the matrix, and to a limited extent, to the nature of the polypeptide, especially its hydrophilici-ty, The degradation-induced release phase can be made to start sooner by appropriate choice of polylactide composition (more glycolide-rich polymer molecules, which degrade more quickly than lactide-rich molecules), M~ (molecules of low molecular weight degrade more quickly to a level at which aqueous channels appear in the matrix), and polypeptide concentration (a higher polypeptide concentration allo~s more rapid absorption of water, and consequently more rapid generation of continuous aqueous channels which facilitate poly-peptide release).
However, as well as requiring the degradation-induced release phase to start earlier, it is also necessary to control the rate of polypeptide release during this phase, and to ensure that the total duration of this phase is sufficient for i~ intended clinical or veterinary purpose. One method of extending the duration of the degradation-induced release phase, is to use polylactides which contain : 25 lactide-rich molecules, which degrade more slowly : than glycolide rich molecules, or alternatively, polylactides containing molecules of high molecular weight, which take longer t~ degrade to a level at which aqueous channels are formed, can be used.
?
It is apparent, therefore, that since glycolide-rich polymer molecules, and/or molecules of low molecular weight, are preferred if the degradation phase is to start quickly, and lactide-rich molecules, and/or molecules of high molecularweight are preferred if the degradation-induced release phase is to last for a su~ficient period of time, preferred polylactides are those with a high degree of heterogeneity, in respect of glycolide rich and lactide-rich molecules, or o~ high ~oly-dispersity.
Alternatively, the same characteristics can be obtained by blending two or more different polylactides, which differ in lactide/glycolide content, and/or in M~ . In addition, the blending ofa minor proportion of polylactide of high M~ with a polylactide of low M~ , confers desirable physical properties upon compositions according to this invention produced therefrom, making them easier to fabricate and process.
We have ~urther discovered that the profile of polypeptide release from both prior art polylactides and novel polylactides is almost exactly parallelled by the profile of water absorption. That is to say, when polypeptide release is discontinuous, water absorption is also discontinuous in essentially the same manner, and conversely, when polypeptide release is continuous, so is water absorption. Furthermore, variation of the parameters referred to above for controlling the polypeptide release characteristics of the composition have been ~ound to affect water ab-sorption by the c~sition in an exactly parallel manner.
, '.
Thus, according to a further feature of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a polylactide as hereinbefore defined and an acid-stable polypeptide, which when placed in an aqueous physiological-type environment absorbs water in a continuous manner~ as hereinbefore defined, until the polylactide has been degraded and essentially all o the polypeptide has been released into said aqueous physiological-type environment.
The effect of the various parameters, referred to above, on the poly~eptide release and/or water absorption characteristics of compositions of the invention is illustrated by the following experiments-A. Molecular weight_of_the polylactide component.
A.1. Low molecular weight polypeptide.
A.l.l.Formulations were manufactured comprising 20% w/w of the gastric peptide fragment tetragastrin hydrochloride, Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2.HCl, molecular weight = 633, in a polylactide comprising equimolar pronortions of D,L-lactide and glycolide units, in the form of a film 0.2~m. thick. The films ; were placed indivldually in water at 37C., which was changed daily, and the ultra-violet absorption at 277nm. was measured to assay the tetragastrin released by the formulation that day.
With a prior art type of polylactide of M~ ap~rox1mately 240,000 (intrinsic viscosity = 1.36), there was an initial release of tetragastrin, then a "dead ; period" rom about day 5 to day 21 during g~
which little was released, followed by the main release from day 24 onward.
With a novel polylactide of M~ approximate-ly 15,000 (intrinsic viscosity - 0.25), the release pattern was similar, but the dead period lasted only from day 4 or 5 to day 8 or 9.
With a novel polylactide of low M~
(inherent viscosity of a lg./lOOml. solution in chloroform = 0.11), there was no dead period, and tetragastrin was released continuously from time zero (To).
A.1.2. Similar formulations were manufactured using 10% by weight of the synthetic luliberin analogue ICI.118,630, rG~ -His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D--Ser(O-tBu)-Leu-Arg-Pro-Azgly-NH2, molecular weight = 1269, in place of tetragastrin.
With a prior art polylactide of M ~
~ 240,000 (intrinsic viscosity = 1.36), the release of the polypeptide was biphasic, with a dead period of about 15 days.
With a novel polylactide of Mw ~ 15,000 (intrinsic viscosity = 0.25), there was a short induction period, followed ~y continuous release.
With a novel polylactide of low M
(inherent viscosity of a lg./lOOml.
solution in chloroform = 0.11~, there was continuous release from T .
o A.2. Medium molecular weight polypeptide, Formulations were manufactured comprising ~ 0.1~ by weight of mouse epidermal growth ; factor (EGF), molecular weight = 6041~ in . , .
i~ - ~ ' . ' ` ; I
~, ' - . .
, ,, polylactides comprising equim~lar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and g]ycolic acid units, and of different M~, and placed in pH 7.4 buffer. Release of EGF was monitored by radio-immunoassay.
With a prior art polylactide of M ~200,000 (intrinsic viscosity = 1.08), there was no initial release, and no signifieant release of polypeptide until between 13 and 20 days after To, after whieh release was continuous.
With a novel polylactide of M~80,000 (intrinsie viscosity = 0.58), there was also no initial release, and signifieant release did not occur until between 6 and 10 days after To, after which release was continuous.
With a novel polylactide of low M~ (inherent vis-eosity of a lg./lOOml. solution in chloroform = 0.11), there was continuous release from To.
A.3. High molecular weight polypeptide.
A formulation was n~nufactured eomprising 20~ w/w of bovine prolaetin, moleeular weight ~ 22,000, in a novel polylactide eomprising equimolar proportions of D,L-lactie aeid and glyeolie aeid units, and of low M (inherent vis-eosity of a lg.~lOOml. solution in ehloroform = 0.11). As expeeted frcm previous experiments A.l.l, A.1.2 and A.2, this formulation also released polypeptide continuously from To when tested m vivo in rats, and eirculating bovine pro-laetin assayed by radio-immuno assay.
, ,.
, ~ ' , ~ ~9~
Experiments A.1 to A.3 thus demonstrate that reducing the molecular weight, M~, or viscosi.y of the polylactide used in the manufacture of a composition reduces the biphasicity of poly-peptide release, for polypeptides of low or medium molecular weight, or the initial delay in release of polypeptides of medium or high molecular weight, and achieves a continuous release of the polypeptide from To.
10 B- Ratio of lactide/qlycolide in the PolYlactide.
~ Compositions were manufactured in the form of im,plants containing lOO~g. (3~ w/w) of the luliberin analogue ICI. 118,630 in polylactides of M~v300,000 but of different lactide/
glycolide ratios, All of these formulations when tested 1n vivo in adult female rats exhibiting normal oestrous behaviour, gave biphasic release of the polypeptide, comprising release for about 6 days post-treatment, followed by a dead period, during which there was no significant polypeptide release. The length of this dead period decreased with decreasing lactide/
glycolide ratio ~L/G), as follows:-. .. _ ... _ . ~
; L/G Dead period(days~
.-._ , ._._ 100/0 no release _ . _~
This experiment thus indicates that a composition exhibiting a biphasic release of polypeptide can be improved in the direction of achieving continuous release by increasing the proportion of glycolide to lactide in the polylactide used, up to about 50~ glycolide.
Compositionsin the form of implants were manufactured using different concentrations of the synthetic luliberin analogue, ICI.118,630, in a prior art 50/50 lactide/glycolide polylactide of M~,~J 200,000, and testedln vivo in rats as described above. At 5% and 10% w/w incorporation, the release of polypeptide was biphasic, but at 15% and 20% incorporation, the biphasicity disappeared.
This experiment thus demonstrates that a polylactide of high molecular weight, which gives biphasic release of polypeptide when the polypeptide is incorporated only at low levels, can be used to make satisfactory continuous release formulations if the proportion of polypeptide is increased sufficiently.
25 D. Molecular wei~ht distribution.
A solution of a polymer blend of wide molecular weight distribution (polydispersity) was obtained by mixing solutions of a 50/50 D,L-lactide/glycolide polylactide of low M ~ , (reduced specific viscosity of a lg./lOOml.
solution in chloroform = 0.115), (3 parts by weight) and a 50/50 D,L-lactide/glycolide polylactide of M~ = 200,000, (intrinsic viscosity = 1.08), (1 part by weight). Tetragastrin ! ~$9a~
(1 part by weight) was added, and the mixture was cast to give a polylactide/tetragastrin composition containiny 20% by weight of tetragastrin, and this was then ulded to give a slab 0.02~n. thick.
The slab was placed in water at 37C. and the release of tetragastrin was found to be continuous from To, and to continue for at least 44 days.
Polylactides of wide molecular weight distribution may be ob-tained either by mL~ing preformed polymers of dlfferent ~olecula~-weights, or by appropriate control of the polymerisation process in generally kncwn manner, and such polylactides confer important advantages, for example the lower molec1lar weight polylactide species allow an essentially immediate release of some polypeptide, while the higher molecular weight polylactide species both extend the release period and slow dcwn the overall rate of release of the polypeptide. In addition, the blending of low and high M~ fractions mcdifies the water absorption characteristics of the polylactide in a parallel manner.
E. Thickness of the implant.
E.l. A solution of 10% by weight of tetragastrin in a polylactide co~!prising equ~nolar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and glycolic acid units, and of M ~15000 was cast into films 0.02, 0.06 and 0.12 cm. thick. All three films showed continuous re-lease of tetragastrin from To, and at 28 days, the three films had released respectively 85, 75 and 66% of their tetragastrin content.
' , , ~ 1 6 ~
. The uptake of tritiated water from pH 7.4 buffer by slabs of polylactide comprisiny equimolar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and glycolic acid units of M~ 200,000, and intrinsic viscosity = 1.08 and of thickness 0.02, 0.06, 0.12 and 0.20 was measured by removing such slabs from the buffer solution successively after varying times of immersion, and measuring the tritium content by scintillation counting. After 5 weeks, the different thickness slabs had ai~sorbed respectively 44, 20, 15 and 11% by weight of water.
These experiments show how the thickness of the implant can be used to control the absorption of water by, and thus the rate of release of polypeptide from, a composition of the i~vention, thicker implants releasing the polypeptide more slowly than thinner ones.
As indicated above the composition of the invention may be formulated as a solid composition for sub-dermal injection or implantation or as a liquid formulation for intramuscular or .subcutaneous iniection.
Suitable solid compositions for sub-dermal 25 injection or implantation are, for example, rods, spheres, films or pellets, and cylindrical rods which can be injected through a hypodermic needle or trochar are preferred. Such compos~itions are l,~an~ t~red by conventional techniques which are well ~nown in the '0 ph~rmaceutical art.

The continuous release of ICI.118630 from a suspension composition of the invention was demonstrated by comparing the dioestrous behaviour of normal mature female rats dosed subcutaneously with either a propylene glycol suspension of particles milled to 120-mesh size and containing 3% by weight of ICI.118630 in a polylactide comprising equimolar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and glycolic acid units, and a ~ ~
240,ooo, (intrinsic viscosity = 1.36), or with a saline solution of 100, 200 or 300~g. of ICI.118630 per animal.
With the saline solutions, there was an immediate short period of dioestrus, but after 3 days post-dosing normal cyclicity was re-established. With the suspension composition of the invention, by contrast, the animals were substantially in dioestrus for about 40 days.
Similar results were obtained with an injection formulation based on a mixture of 1% of ICI.118630 in a similar polylactide having an intrinsic viscosity of ~ 0.5.
Thus, according to a further feature of the invention there is provided a suspension formulation comprising from 1 to 50% by weight of a solid formulation, which itself comprises from 0.1 to 50% by weight of an acid-stable polypeptide as herein defined and from 50 to 99.9~ by weight of a polylactide wherein the ratio of glycolide to lactide units is 0 to 3 and which is ei-ther soluble in benzene and has an inherent viscosity (lg./
lOOml. solution in benzene) of less than 0.5 or is insoluble in benzene and has an inherent viscosity (lg~/
lOOml. solution in chloroform or dioxan) of less than 4, which solid formulation has been reduced to fine particle size, together with from 50 to 99% by weight of a liquid carrier suitable for injection into mammals.

g () It is to be noted that, because of the reduced particle size of the polypeptide/polylactide in a suspension for injection, certain solid formulations, which are not suita~le for implantation, are rendered useful when reduced to fine particle size and formulated as a suspension for injection. For example, the two particular suspension formulations referred to above both contain less ICI.118,630 than has been found acceptable for implantable formulations, as shown in Tables 1 and 2 above.
From -the foregoing, it is clear that it is desirable to manufacture polylactides of a range of M ~ , particularly of low to medium M ~ in the range up to 60,000, and of high polydispersity ( M ~ ) , these Mn being particularly valuable in thecompositions of this invention. The prior art rela-ting to polylactides in general, and to copolymers containing lactic acid and glycolic acid units in particular, is silent as to the manufacture of such copolymers of low molecular weight, and as to methods of achieving high polydispersity in such copolymers. Indeed, it is inherent in the prior art disclosure of polylactides that they are generally of M~
greater than about 30,000-60,000 (an inherent viscosity of greater than 0.5) and of low polydispersity, due to their manufacture under anhydrous conditions and without any added chain-stoppers. We have realised that, because of the different reactivities under polymerisation conditions of the cyclic dimers of lactic acid and glycolic acid, copolymers of high heterogeneity in respect of polymer species may be obtained by ring opening polymerisation of a mixture ; of the two cyclic dimers in the presence of chain-~ ~9~
stopping agents, to give polylactides having an inherent viscosity of less than 0.5. The cyclic dimer of glycolic acid is the more reactive under polymerisation conditions, and thus the first copolymer molecules formed in the polymerisation are glycolic acid-rich. Consequentially,the later copolymer molecules formed are necessarily lactic acid-rich, thus producing a copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid of the desire~ high heterogeneity.
In addition, we control the polymerisation to produce copolymers in the desired low ~ ~ range by carrying out the ring opening copolymerisation of the mixed cyclic dimers in the presence of water, of lactic acid containing water, or of some other known chain growth regulator, in accordance with the general knowledge in the polymer art.
Suitable polymerisation catalysts are zinc oxide, zinc carbonate, basic zinc carbonate, diethyl-zinc, organotin compounds, for example stannous octanoate, tributylaluminium, titanium, magnesium or barium compounds, or litharge, and of these stannous octanoate is preferred.
The copolymerisation of the mixed cyclic dimers is o~herwise carried out in conventional manner, known in the polymer art, as regards time and temperature.
Low molecular weight polylactides may also be obtained by copolymerisation of the hydroxy-acids themselves xather than the cyclic dimers. Although less heterogenerous polymers are obtained by this -J process, suitable matrices for continuous release of - - , ' '- ~ ' -.
- 2~ -polypeptides may be obtained by mixing such polylactides ~f di~ferent compositions made by this method, or by ~ixing a polylactide made by this method with one or nore polylactides made by ring opening polymerisation ~f the cyclic dimers.
Certain of the iactic acid/glycolic acid copolymers described herein are novel and form a further feature of this invention. Thus according to a further ~eature of the lnvention there is provided a hetero-geneous polylacti~e comprising from 25 to 100~ molar lactic acid units and from O to 75% molar of glycolic acid units, and which is either soluble in benzene and has an inherent viscosity (lg./lOOml. solution in benzene) of less than 0.5, or is insoluble in benzene and has an inherent viscosity (lg./lOOml. solution in chloroform ordioxan) of less than 4. By a "heterogeneous polylactide"
we mean polylactides with a high degree of heterogeneity, in respect of glycolide-rich and lactide-rich molecules, or of high polydispersity, or blends of two or more different polylactides which differ in lactide/glycolide content and/or M~ , as hereinbefore described.
Whether or not a particular copolymer is heterogeneous or not, in this sense, may be readily deterimined from inspection of the 25MHz 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the copolymer in, for example, deuterated dimethyl sulphoxide. In a homogeneous copolymer, such as is obtained in the prior art copolymerisation of lactic acid and glycolic acid monomers, the resonance of the glycolic acid unit carbonyl carbon, at ~ = 166.0 - 166.2 approximately, appears as two doublets, as a consquence of the four ~, dif~erent, approximately equally probable molecular environments ln which this carbon atom can exist, ' :
. ' ~
~1/0 * * * *
namely GGG, LGG, GGL and LGL (G = a glycolic acid unit, L = a lactic acid unit, and the asterisk indicates the glycolic acid unit under consideration)0 In a hetero-geneous copolymer, on the other hand, such as is used in the present invention, the sequence LGL is unlikely to occur, so that one of the doublet singnals in the spectrum of the homogeneous copolymer appears as a singlet. In fact, we find that in the spectrum of heterogeneous copolymers, this glycollc acid unit carbonyl carbon signal often appears as two singlets. Thus, a "heterogeneous copolymer" as herein defined is a copolymer for which the glycolic acid carbonyl carbon signal in the 3C n.m.r. appears as other than a pair of doublets.
The heterogeneity or homogeneity of lactic lS acid/glycolic acid copolymers can also be demonstrated by an examination of their degradation. Thus, when a copolymer is placed in pH 7.~ buffer at 37C., removed periodically, dried and sampled, and the ratio of lactic acid to glycolic acid units in the samples is determined by n.m.r., for a heterogeneous copolymer, the ratio L/G
increases with time, as the glycolic acid sequences hydrolyse preferentially. For a homogeneous copolymer, on the other hand, the ratio of L/G remains essentially constant as degradation progresses.
The lactic acid content of the copolymer is preferably in the racemic (D,L) form, or in the optically active L form.
According to a furthex feature of the invention there is provided a process for the manufacture of a novel copoly~er of lactic acid and glycolic acid as defined immediately above, which comprises the ring 1~1 ~1 opening copolymerisa~ion of a mixture of the cyclic dimers of lactic acid and glycolic acid, optionally in the presence of a chain growth regulating agent.
A suitable chain growth regulating agent is, for example, water, lactic acid, glycollc acid or other hydroxy acids, alcohols or carboxylic acids generally.
The invention is illustrated but not limited by the following Preparations and Examples:-Preparation 1 Zinc oxide (16g.) was added to D,L-lactic acid lo ~800g.) in a 2 1. 3-necked round bottom flask-equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, and a distillation head connected t~ a water condenser. The mixture was stirred and heated to about 135C., at which temperature water started to distil over. Heating 1~ was continued for 8 hrs., during which time the temperature rose to about 190 C. When distillation of water ceased, the pressure was reduced, and distillation was continued until solid began to collect in the condenser. At this stage the water condenser was replaced by an air condenser, and the residue was ~cooIed and~then distilled under high vacuum (2-8mm.

~ 27 Preparation 2 Glycolide (1,4-dioxan-2,5-dione), the cyclic dimer of glycolic acid, was prepared by the method described in Preparative Methods in Polymer Chemistry by ~.R. Sorenson and T.W. Campbell, second edition, published by Interscience (1968), page 363. The crude glycolide was purified by three successive crystallisa-tions from dry ethyl acetate, then dried at 45C~ under reduced pressure (2-8mm. of mercury) for 24-48 hrs., m.p. 82-84C.
Examples 1 to 13 Polymers of D,L-lactide and glycolide were prepared as follows:-Pure dry D,L-lactide (Preparation 1), pure dry glycolide (Preparation 2) totalling 42g., commercial D,L-lactic acid containing about 12% by weight of water, and lml. of an 8% by weight solution of stannous octanoate in hexane, were placed in a pre-dried glass tube. The hexane was evaporated under reduced pressuxe, and the tube was heated at 160C. for 6 hours with constant agitation if possible. The tube was cooled in powdered solid carbon dioxide, and the polylactide was removed, broken into small pieces and dissolved in chloroform (400ml.). The chloroform solution was filtered, and the filtrate was poured into methanol (2 1.) to precipitate the polylactide, which was filtered off and dried under vacuum at 40Co for 24 hours~ then~at 80 C. for 24 hours. All the polylactides so produced were soluble in chloroform and dioxan, and polylactides 1 to 9 in the following Table were soluble in benzene, but polylactides 10 to 13 were insoluble in benzene.

Example 14 A polylactide comprising equimolar proportions of glycolic acid and D,L-lactic acid units, and having an intrinsic viscosity of 1.36 (50mg.) was dissolved in dioxan (lml.), and 50~1. of a solution of ICI.118630, ~rlu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D-Ser(0-tBu)-Leu-Arg-Pro-Azgly-NH2 (233mg. per ml. of the acetate salt, equivalent to 200mg. per ml. of base) in distilled water was added. The resultant hazy solution was cast as a film, the solvents were evaporated in a stream of nitrogen in the dark, and the film was dried at 40C. under reduced pressure (0.02mm. of mercury) for 48 hours. The mixture, containing ~ 17% by weight of ICI.118630 in the polylactide was homogenized by three successive compression mouldings at 110C. for 10 seconds, and was finally compression moulded into implants 0.038cm. thick, each weighins 1.5mg. and containing 309+7~g. ~ ~ 17% by weight) of ICI.118630, The continuous release of ICI.118630 from such implants was demonstrated by placing them in female rats exhibiting normal oestrous behaviour.
After implantation, the rats went into a period of dioestrus, detected b~ the lack of cornified vaginal smears, lasting from 31 to 40 days, thus indicating that ICI.118630 was being continuously released during that period.

For use in human therapy 7 implants containing 1 to lOOmg. of ICI 118630 (5-50% by weight), weighing 2mg.-lg., and in the form of cylindrical rods suitable for impla~ation by trochar, were manu~actured by the process described above.
Example 15 The process described in Example 14 was repeated, but using polylactides comprising equimolar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and glycolic acid units, and having intrinsic viscosities of 0.33 and 0.25, instead of 1.36, to prepare implants containing 10% -by weight of ICI.118630, weighing about 3mg., and 0.08cm.

These implants were placed in female rats (5 per group) which, prior to implantation, exhibited f regular oestrous behaviour. The implants prepared from ` polylactide of intrinsic viscosity 0.33 exhibited an induction period of 5 days followed by a dioestrus period of about 26 days; and the implants prepared from polylactide of intrinsic viscosity 0.25 exhibited an induction period of 3-4 days, followed by a dioestrus ;~ period of about 25 davs.
Similar implants, but containing 20% by weight of ICI.118630 were prepared in the same way, and .- these exhibited a similar dioestrus period, but no induction period, in the rat test described above.

ExampLe 16 The process described in Example 14 was repeated, using a polylactide comprising equimolar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and glycolic acid units, and having intrinsic viscosity of 1.36, to prepare mixtures of ICI.118630 and polylactide containing 3 and 1~ by weight of ICI.118630. The mixture was micronised at room temperature in an ultracentrifuge mill fitted with a 120-mesh screen, and the micronised particles were suspended in propylen~ glycol for injection at a concentration of lOOmg. per ml.
Female rats showing regular oestrous behaviour were injected sub-cutaneously with O.lml.of the 3% by weight propylene glycol suspension described ` above, or with 0.3ml. of the 1~ suspension. Both groups were monitored, by examining vaginal smears daily for cornification, and exhibited occasional cornified smears up to 20 to 24 days after dosing, followed by a clear dioestrus period up to days 38 to 42 after dosing, thus demonstrating continuous release 25 of ICI.118630 over that period.

The continuous release of ICI.118630 from a suspension composition of the invention was demonstrated by comparing the dioestrous behaviour of normal mature female rats dosed subcutaneously with either a propylene glycol suspension of particles milled to 120-mesh size and containing 3% by weight of ICI.118630 in a polylactide comprising equimolar proportions of D,L-lactic acid and glycolic acid units, and a ~ ~
240,ooo, (intrinsic viscosity = 1.36), or with a saline solution of 100, 200 or 300~g. of ICI.118630 per animal.
With the saline solutions, there was an immediate short period of dioestrus, but after 3 days post-dosing normal cyclicity was re-established. With the suspension composition of the invention, by contrast, the animals were substantially in dioestrus for about 40 days.
Similar results were obtained with an injection formulation based on a mixture of 1% of ICI.118630 in a similar polylactide having an intrinsic viscosity of ~ 0.5.
Thus, according to a further feature of the invention there is provided a suspension formulation comprising from 1 to 50% by weight of a solid formulation, which itself comprises from 0.1 to 50% by weight of an acid-stable polypeptide as herein defined and from 50 to 99.9~ by weight of a polylactide wherein the ratio of glycolide to lactide units is 0 to 3 and which is ei-ther soluble in benzene and has an inherent viscosity (lg./
lOOml. solution in benzene) of less than 0.5 or is insoluble in benzene and has an inherent viscosity (lg~/
lOOml. solution in chloroform or dioxan) of less than 4, which solid formulation has been reduced to fine particle size, together with from 50 to 99% by weight of a liquid carrier suitable for injection into mammals.

g () It is to be noted that, because of the reduced particle size of the polypeptide/polylactide in a suspension for injection, certain solid formulations, which are not suita~le for implantation, are rendered useful when reduced to fine particle size and formulated as a suspension for injection. For example, the two particular suspension formulations referred to above both contain less ICI.118,630 than has been found acceptable for implantable formulations, as shown in Tables 1 and 2 above.
From -the foregoing, it is clear that it is desirable to manufacture polylactides of a range of M ~ , particularly of low to medium M ~ in the range up to 60,000, and of high polydispersity ( M ~ ) , these Mn being particularly valuable in thecompositions of this invention. The prior art rela-ting to polylactides in general, and to copolymers containing lactic acid and glycolic acid units in particular, is silent as to the manufacture of such copolymers of low molecular weight, and as to methods of achieving high polydispersity in such copolymers. Indeed, it is inherent in the prior art disclosure of polylactides that they are generally of M~
greater than about 30,000-60,000 (an inherent viscosity of greater than 0.5) and of low polydispersity, due to their manufacture under anhydrous conditions and without any added chain-stoppers. We have realised that, because of the different reactivities under polymerisation conditions of the cyclic dimers of lactic acid and glycolic acid, copolymers of high heterogeneity in respect of polymer species may be obtained by ring opening polymerisation of a mixture ; of the two cyclic dimers in the presence of chain-~ ~9~
stopping agents, to give polylactides having an inherent viscosity of less than 0.5. The cyclic dimer of glycolic acid is the more reactive under polymerisation conditions, and thus the first copolymer molecules formed in the polymerisation are glycolic acid-rich. Consequentially,the later copolymer molecules formed are necessarily lactic acid-rich, thus producing a copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid of the desire~ high heterogeneity.
In addition, we control the polymerisation to produce copolymers in the desired low ~ ~ range by carrying out the ring opening copolymerisation of the mixed cyclic dimers in the presence of water, of lactic acid containing water, or of some other known chain growth regulator, in accordance with the general knowledge in the polymer art.
Suitable polymerisation catalysts are zinc oxide, zinc carbonate, basic zinc carbonate, diethyl-zinc, organotin compounds, for example stannous octanoate, tributylaluminium, titanium, magnesium or barium compounds, or litharge, and of these stannous octanoate is preferred.
The copolymerisation of the mixed cyclic dimers is o~herwise carried out in conventional manner, known in the polymer art, as regards time and temperature.
Low molecular weight polylactides may also be obtained by copolymerisation of the hydroxy-acids themselves xather than the cyclic dimers. Although less heterogenerous polymers are obtained by this -J process, suitable matrices for continuous release of - - , ' '- ~ ' -.
- 2~ -polypeptides may be obtained by mixing such polylactides ~f di~ferent compositions made by this method, or by ~ixing a polylactide made by this method with one or nore polylactides made by ring opening polymerisation ~f the cyclic dimers.
Certain of the iactic acid/glycolic acid copolymers described herein are novel and form a further feature of this invention. Thus according to a further ~eature of the lnvention there is provided a hetero-geneous polylacti~e comprising from 25 to 100~ molar lactic acid units and from O to 75% molar of glycolic acid units, and which is either soluble in benzene and has an inherent viscosity (lg./lOOml. solution in benzene) of less than 0.5, or is insoluble in benzene and has an inherent viscosity (lg./lOOml. solution in chloroform ordioxan) of less than 4. By a "heterogeneous polylactide"
we mean polylactides with a high degree of heterogeneity, in respect of glycolide-rich and lactide-rich molecules, or of high polydispersity, or blends of two or more different polylactides which differ in lactide/glycolide content and/or M~ , as hereinbefore described.
Whether or not a particular copolymer is heterogeneous or not, in this sense, may be readily deterimined from inspection of the 25MHz 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the copolymer in, for example, deuterated dimethyl sulphoxide. In a homogeneous copolymer, such as is obtained in the prior art copolymerisation of lactic acid and glycolic acid monomers, the resonance of the glycolic acid unit carbonyl carbon, at ~ = 166.0 - 166.2 approximately, appears as two doublets, as a consquence of the four ~, dif~erent, approximately equally probable molecular environments ln which this carbon atom can exist, ' :
. ' ~
~1/0 * * * *
namely GGG, LGG, GGL and LGL (G = a glycolic acid unit, L = a lactic acid unit, and the asterisk indicates the glycolic acid unit under consideration)0 In a hetero-geneous copolymer, on the other hand, such as is used in the present invention, the sequence LGL is unlikely to occur, so that one of the doublet singnals in the spectrum of the homogeneous copolymer appears as a singlet. In fact, we find that in the spectrum of heterogeneous copolymers, this glycollc acid unit carbonyl carbon signal often appears as two singlets. Thus, a "heterogeneous copolymer" as herein defined is a copolymer for which the glycolic acid carbonyl carbon signal in the 3C n.m.r. appears as other than a pair of doublets.
The heterogeneity or homogeneity of lactic lS acid/glycolic acid copolymers can also be demonstrated by an examination of their degradation. Thus, when a copolymer is placed in pH 7.~ buffer at 37C., removed periodically, dried and sampled, and the ratio of lactic acid to glycolic acid units in the samples is determined by n.m.r., for a heterogeneous copolymer, the ratio L/G
increases with time, as the glycolic acid sequences hydrolyse preferentially. For a homogeneous copolymer, on the other hand, the ratio of L/G remains essentially constant as degradation progresses.
The lactic acid content of the copolymer is preferably in the racemic (D,L) form, or in the optically active L form.
According to a furthex feature of the invention there is provided a process for the manufacture of a novel copoly~er of lactic acid and glycolic acid as defined immediately above, which comprises the ring 1~1 ~1 opening copolymerisa~ion of a mixture of the cyclic dimers of lactic acid and glycolic acid, optionally in the presence of a chain growth regulating agent.
A suitable chain growth regulating agent is, for example, water, lactic acid, glycollc acid or other hydroxy acids, alcohols or carboxylic acids generally.
The invention is illustrated but not limited by the following Preparations and Examples:-Preparation 1 Zinc oxide (16g.) was added to D,L-lactic acid lo ~800g.) in a 2 1. 3-necked round bottom flask-equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, and a distillation head connected t~ a water condenser. The mixture was stirred and heated to about 135C., at which temperature water started to distil over. Heating 1~ was continued for 8 hrs., during which time the temperature rose to about 190 C. When distillation of water ceased, the pressure was reduced, and distillation was continued until solid began to collect in the condenser. At this stage the water condenser was replaced by an air condenser, and the residue was ~cooIed and~then distilled under high vacuum (2-8mm.

Examples 1 to 13 Polymers of D,L-lactide and glycolide were prepared as follows:-Pure dry D,L-lactide (Preparation 1), pure dry glycolide (Preparation 2) totalling 42g., commercial D,L-lactic acid containing about 12% by weight of water, and lml. of an 8% by weight solution of stannous octanoate in hexane, were placed in a pre-dried glass tube. The hexane was evaporated under reduced pressuxe, and the tube was heated at 160C. for 6 hours with constant agitation if possible. The tube was cooled in powdered solid carbon dioxide, and the polylactide was removed, broken into small pieces and dissolved in chloroform (400ml.). The chloroform solution was filtered, and the filtrate was poured into methanol (2 1.) to precipitate the polylactide, which was filtered off and dried under vacuum at 40Co for 24 hours~ then~at 80 C. for 24 hours. All the polylactides so produced were soluble in chloroform and dioxan, and polylactides 1 to 9 in the following Table were soluble in benzene, but polylactides 10 to 13 were insoluble in benzene.
